Hi! I’m looking for books and authors which are '‘good with words’. What I mean is, I’m looking for stuff where they are good at painting a picture with words, the words and sentences flow really well, the choice of words is good, stuff like that. I think this is called ‘good prose’. I’m not sure though.

Thanks in advance. Happy Reading!

    What about F. Scott Fitzgerald? If your looking for classic works, I feel like his stuff is incredibly vivid.

    If you like wordplay, cleverness, and great emotion try watching something like Hamlet or Romeo+Juliet and throw the closed captioning on. I wouldn’t suggest reading it unless you’re very comfortable with old modern English.
